Garden of Delete

It is loud and quiet, hard and soft, old and new. It often feels strangely familiar, but in a way that leaves you wondering how and why that is the case.It's like being in a dream where you're told it is your house but all the floors and walls seem different. You don't recognize the furniture or even the people sitting in it. All of these things twist a knot in your stomach and you know you should turn and run but instead you sit and relax and let it take you wherever it wants.

I enjoyed the approach here with this album. The downside it i am not that impressed with his newer stuff when compared the the material pre 2015. Do not get me wrong there is nothing wrong with what he is doing it just seems like he is getting more and more conventional. I have confidence in this guy do to the fact that he has gone so far out in relation to being experimental.I have never understood the use of auto tune and was initially shocked that Squarepusher used it on his Shobaleader one album. I have now had to accept that this is considered an instrument. The use of it on this album makes it seem like it is being mocked -for example a track starts off sounding like synth/pop with auto tune then wonderfully turns to what sounds like death metal through a distortion filter. I was convinced this was making fun of auto tune untill i heard his 2018 brand new album where he sings all serious on many tracks through auto tune????Back to the album at large as that is only on one track.This is filled with rather short things that seem like individual ideas rather than a solid concept which again i s not a complaint.I listen to this often but will leave it out of playlists that have his signature ambient sound which can be found on albums like Returnal and Replica.I recommend this album to experimental electronic music fans that like some sort of structure and compartmentalization. I personally like more drawn out electronic stuff like what Autechere is doing but this is definitely interesting.

Difficult to describe, even more difficult to explain. Better than the already-fantastic R Plus Seven, exchanging its "calculated" for "organic", and its seeming "maturity" with a theme of "immaturity". First half of the album is great, but it's the second half of the album (Animals, I Bite Through It, Freaky Eyes, Lift, and No Good) that make everything click for me, with Freaky Eyes being my favorite track.The vinyl packaging is very nice - there is not a booklet, but rather the pages that are in the CD booklet are printed inside the gatefold and on both sides of the vinyl sleeves. While I would have appreciated a separate booklet, it's not a huge deal for me. The heavy vinyl plays nicely, but it seems like Side D on my copy is unusually noisy.All in all, the best album I have heard this year and possibly longer.

I am a professional jazz bass player. I love electronic music and I LOVE this record - it's one of my favorite albums period. The soundscapes range from playful to frighteningly dark. You never know what is going to happen next; but it's not hard to listen to. It's a fun adventure. If you love interesting electronic music, get this!

If you like Oneohtrix, this is fantastic stuff, if you don't, this would be decent album to get to know him on, though Beautiful Rewind would be a better album to get to know him on.

I didn't really like it at first but kept coming back to it, found myself humming bits of it unconsciously. Amazing album, the best always require repeated listening.

Appreciated gift.

its music

Seeing as I'd rather let the music speak for itself (and I wouldn't even know how to do any kind of justice to the complex tapestry of sounds found on this record by attempting to verbalise them), all I can really do is compare G.O.D. to previous OPN albums that I love:Returnal was among the best new albums I heard in 2010.Replica is among the best new albums I have heard this decade.R Plus Seven is among the best albums I have ever heard.Garden of Delete is among the best new albums I have heard in 2015.(*one could replace the word "best" with "most interesting" and the same would be true.)However, more than my subjective appraisal of the supposed quality of this piece of work, the fact that Lopatin continually manages to progress his sound so outstandingly with each Oneohtrix release is testament to the man's creative mind and tireless quest to provide his audience with something more, time after time, and not just rest on his laurels. Each OPN release post-Rifts has felt like it's own unique soundworld, with not just the timbral palette being idiosyncratic, but the overarching structure and emotional resonance remaining remarkably consistent throughout the entire duration of the work. Of course, there are vestiges of his previous output harboured within each subsequent record, but these are vastly outweighed by the amount of change to every aspect of the music, all of which sounds so organic, as if the style is arrived at by a natural evolutionary process rather than a conscious effort on the part of its creator.I'll also add that most of my opinions of OPN albums have benefitted from numerous listens, with the music being so rich and dense as to make it unfeasible to pick up on every little detail on the first couple of plays. Each album has gone up immeasurably in my estimations with each re-listen, allowing me to become attuned to the essence of the record and discover the finer brushstrokes hidden away on the surface of the sonic canvas.Finally, whilst I don't find G.O.D. to be as beautiful or emotional as other albums by Lopatin, it nevertheless contains enough moments of beauty and emotion to be well worth anyone's time.RIYL: Electronic music you can't dance to; pop music you can't sing along to; rock music you can't play air guitar to; ambient music you can't fall asleep to.

Very good and fast shipment (considering the item sould come from Japan).

Ein Album welches seine Schönheit nicht beim ersten hören Preis gibt. Doch je häufiger es durch die Boxen schallt umso schöner und brillanter wird es.Die Klangwelten fließen durch den Kosmos und werden attackiert, maskriert, zerstört.Doch was zerstört wird wächst hier wieder ganz prächtig zu etwas größerem zusammen.

Amazing sounds from this New York artist

Best album of 2015,
